Sink Swim puts its own spin on the traditional burger, drizzling its housemade "Sink Sauce" over a double patty with American cheese and onion rings.

Alden & Harlow's Burger -- offered with limited availability -- is made with an 80z Creekstone patty, a house-made roll and "your faith" in the chef. The burger remains a mystery until you take the first bite, but it looks darn good to us!

Ai Fiori's White Label Burger -- an eight-ounce LaFrieda prime patty served with bacon marmalade, slices of white American cheese, McClure's pickles and a side of pommes dauphines (crisp potato puffs)-- is the epitome of a power lunch.
